It's gonna take more than a magic word
Tripwires will have you chewing the earth
Robbed blind by humankind
You may seek but you shall not find
Not today
No way through
Here in the compound we're scraping by
Salvaged batteries running dry
Let me be clear, we don't deal in fear
But you've darkened the wrong tower
So, turn around
No way through
Turn around
Leave the compound

Fire Had Destroyed Him
02:58

Great show tonight sir, they were eating out of your hand
But we've got a problem
Someone knows your secret, they've seen your blueprints
So they're making moves
With giant mirrors and private muscle
Keep pushing on
Seize all the bridges, scramble the choppers
It's time to shine
Put on your face
Show them your smile
Make a few calls
Party on
Too many toys
Not enough time
Get to the point
Drink it in
Light them up
Fire had destroyed him but like a phoenix of shit
He was reborn
He won the West without breaking a sweat
What did you expect?
Harbouring dreams of glory and fantastical weaponry
You've seen it before
Cruel as a desert, dense as a jungle
Here we go again
Put on your face
Show them your smile
Make a few calls
Party on
Too many toys
Not enough time
Get to the point
Drink it in

The Wrong Stuff
02:48

The juice of lemons makes fine punch
Are you getting thirsty?
You need to learn to trust your hunch
And prove you're worthy
Week after week, it's familiar enough
Squeeze another one
Month after month, it's the wrong stuff
Much too bitter, you know it's poison
You've gone over the top
You've gone over the top this time

Startup, stalling, whirring
Pouring, boring, failing
Yawning, sighing, seething
Pliant, forging nothing
Power up the drill
So many dreams for us to kill
Tap your reserves
And you will get what you deserve
Power up the drill
So many dreams for us to kill
Tap your reserves
Sustain the lie
Happy to help
Happy to learn
Shutdown, lying, grinning
Twofold, threefold, spinning
Yawning, sighing, seething
Pliant, forging nothing
Power up the drill
So many dreams for us to kill
Tap your reserves
And you will get what you deserve
Power up the drill
So many dreams for us to kill
Tap your reserves
Sustain the lie
Happy to help
Happy to learn

Propel us forward one at a time
On the politburo's wheels
When we face stagnation
We remember our ideals
We all know the doctrine
We can move ahead
No more isolation
Streets are painted red
From the woods
To the shop
To the school
Leave it here
Leave it there
Keep the faith

Time and Energy

If my friends could see me now
Holy cow, they'd believe it
If I had the energy and time
You know I would change it
Eagle can't seem to get off the ground
Put it in the hangar and it won't make a sound
Its heart is still stuck in neutral
Good weather but the show's rained off
I have no need for entertainment
When I can frag the well-being channel
A constellation of nano-failures
Winter sun on a brick wall
Paramedics burning rubber
Wires overhead
If my friends could see me now
Holy cow, they'd believe it
If I had the energy and time
You know I would change it
Good weather but the show's rained off
Wires overhead, dealing in dread
If I had the energy and time

Dear Stakeholder
03:18
|

Complacency kills, we're living proof
Breaking up the floor, tearing down the roof
Air-conditioned malady, corporate Memphis tapestry
In the shadow of a new idea there is a hack in a trance
Broke the key off in the lock, now that's what I call impact
The feudal lord is back again
No real domain but they'll pretend
So push your rock up the hill until you're feeling fulfilled
With careful marshalling, sacred tasks will be performed
And we ascend to heaven, our souls absorbed
With a purging light, obliterate time
Alienation, sublime

We couldn't be any purer of heart
It was clear from the start
I'm down in the tunnels, but I won't sing
I think I'm turning now
I must be turning now
The hypothesis holds
